Green People<\/a> asked me if we’d like to road test something from its certified organic toiletries ranges \u2013 Organic Babies<\/strong> and Organic Children<\/strong>. We tried out a Soothing Baby Salve and a Sun Lotion.<\/p>\n

The company produces an extensive range of natural products and is one of the biggest names in organic beauty in the UK. It was, however, started by a mum that wanted to alleviate the symptoms her 2-year old was suffering from eczema and skin allergies.<\/p>\n

Soothing baby salve<\/h2>\n

As my daughter Sofia (aged 4) suffers from eczema in Spring and Summer. I was sent their Soothing Baby Salve<\/i><\/a> (\u00a312.00 for 100ml). It is specifically for dry or irritated skin and suitable for those prone to eczema. It is marketed for babies \u2013 it can also be used to treat nappy rash – and can be used all over the body as a general moisturiser. However, it is perfect for toddlers and beyond (I\u2019ve even slapped on a bit of it myself).<\/p>\n

It has a gorgeous lavender smell. The texture looks like it\u2019d be really oily but if used sparingly rubs in wonderfully. If you do use too much it will sit on the skin though.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t claim to clear up eczema, but we found that it really did soothe it. It took the inflammation and redness down. Sofia reported that it stopped the itching, so we\u2019ve ditched the steroid cream she was using for now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve used it on a few dry patches on one of my twins (21 months) and there was an almost immediate improvement. I suffer with very dry hands so I used it as a hand cream. I applied rather too liberally, so it was a bit greasy. However, it worked a treat. My hands that usually resemble gnarled twigs, were super soft.<\/p>\n

Sun Lotion<\/h2>\n

The second item we were sent was their Sun lotion medium 30 SPF<\/i><\/a> (\u00a320.00 for 150ml) from the Organic Children range. It is formulated with organic aloe vera, edelweiss, avocado and chamomile. It is free from Parabens, artificial perfumes, petrochemicals or colourants and is environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
